The Perfect Luna

Chapter 76

“Explain this!” Gideon growled at the Beta as he uploaded the video on the big

screen.

Maya watched it calmly, her face vacant of any emotions.

“What exactly should I explain?” she asked lazily, only fuelling his anger.

He rewound the video back to when she was fighting Roxanne and pointed at Riannon standing not far from them.

“She was there! And you saw her!” he was playing those seconds again and again, making her watch this. “You didn’t even move to help her. I want to know why!

“I did not notice her!” Maya turned away and he just knew that she was lying through her teeth.

“I am not buying this!” he growled. He could feel how his own Beta, Ried, was trying to reach him via the mind link. He was worried sick about his mate, and it was one of the reasons why he couldn’t kill her on the spot.

Yet she was too calm. A traitor who was just caught couldn’t possibly be this

serene!

“Maya,” he said through clenched teeth, “what do you know that I don’t? You clearly saw each other. Ria didn’t even fight that damn fox when he caught her!”

She averted his gaze and he knew that he was on the right path.

“You have to tell me!” he growled and it suddenly became harder to breathe in the room. He never used his royal lycan power. It was dangerous. And not only for others, for him as well. Because unleashing that pressing darkness within him could have consequences beyond repairing. There was a reason why only the royal lycans had the second battle form now. Only they could shift into wolf-like feral beasts who

could walk on their feet. Common lycians could die if they tried that.

The blood of royals was the purest and they were the only ones who had enough strength to channel and control true beasts. Those beasts were giving them power beyond imaginable, but that came with a price. The longer they stayed in that form, the less they wanted to come back to being human. It was too tempting, too

wolf, hence they were saving it for the worst battles. When they were becoming true lycans, all emotions were gone. Only instincts stayed. And every time Gideon had to use any part of his feral powers, he knew that once he reached a certain point, he had to stop and go back to being human.

That form was making him stronger and any other shifter could sense his power from afar. Right now he only let it out a bit but Maya already lowered her head

in submission. This was something out of her control now.

“What. Happened. There?” Gideon demanded in a firm menacing tone and she gulped, trying to fight it. But it was useless.

“I can’t,” she whispered desperately.

“I am your king,” Gideon insisted, letting her know that he would make her if she didn’t do it herself.

“You might be my king but she is my Alpha,” Maya’s voice was faint but she faced him with a determination which he couldn’t not respect.

He didn’t even need more details. It was clear what had happened back in the woods now. And he wanted to crush things, break them, destroy…

“Just tell me why she did it,” he used all his strength to get the beast to back down, so that he could return to his senses and so that the girl in front of him could stop suffocating. It was her first time experiencing something like this. Most would probably have already fainted.
